    Usual suspects will be here soon telling us the afghans should be grateful to experience the warm touch of freedom.

    To be fair you can't control every bad apple, doesn't change the fact the US had no business there day 1.

    War dehumanises people and brings out the worst in them.

    I'm not in the least surprised or shocked.

    But this scene is staged. The grunts know they're being filmed, they grin at the camera. That's what's troubling about this video. They don't seem to realise that the ******************************s on the ground are no different from them.

    Moral outrage brigade arriving to spew out hatred of the US following video on internet which may or may not be true and which involving a tiny minority of US Marines. Ho hum. The point is that unlike in other cases the marines will investigate this and punish those concerned. Won't stop the bird brains from screeching about the Imperialist Yankee.

    It appears that urinating on people is worse than killing them.

    They should not be in Afghanistan regardless.
    While I agree that they have absolutely no business whatsoever in Afghanistan, what else can people expect of soldiers involved in conflict but to act like animals?

    This is war, it's dirty, aggressive and hateful.

    Scumbags.

    Nationality, reasons for being there or whoever's uniform they are wearing all irrelevant.

    I think we can atleast hope they don't behave like vermin or that if they do we don't try to make pitiful excuses for them.

    If you train these people to be savage animals whose job purpose is to kill people, how can you be surprised when they act like savage animals?
    Go team America, pissing on the world with impunity, and clearly their victims as well.

    Who's making excuses? I am pointing out the realities of war.

    If people don't want this type of thing to happen then protest about the war itself rather than complaining how soldiers act during a war. I guarantee, if you were on the ground over there and saw your buddies getting wounded and killed by the enemy then you'd take the opportunity to exact some revenge too.


    I always get a giggle when I see self righteous posts like yours. You pretend I'm making excuses or some such as though you can have a war without hatred and brutality. Are you for real?? It's not possible.
